Chapter 447 - 370: Mercenary (Combined) _3
“I don’t think so. Anyone who can casually produce 500,000 Cent Star Stones probably has some background…”
“Heh, anyway, after we deal with him, we just head straight into the danger zone. Regardless of his background, I doubt he can find his way back~”
…
On a certain tall building on Ford Street, two people were by the floor-to-ceiling window, enjoying dinner while gazing at the night view.
One of them, a young man with white hair, had a fair complexion and gentle manners, but his gaze was sharp.
The middle-aged man opposite him had the demeanor of a gang boss. He was one of the top leaders on Ford Street—Gwen.
Behind Gwen stood several Shining Star Level subordinates. One of them was burly and exuded a powerful aura. He was clearly an Epic Star Card Master skilled in physical combat.
At that moment, Gwen’s phone suddenly rang.
“Alright, just keep an eye on him.” After listening, Gwen gave an order and hung up.
The white-haired, gentle young man asked, “Is it about the ‘500,000’?”
“Yeah, it’s said the person has already entered Ford Street. It seems One-eyed Dragon lured him in and has already brought people over. Also, many other people have their eyes on this fat piece of meat.”
“Fat meat, huh…” The young man with white hair shook his head.
Gwen smiled and asked, “A sealing task with a 500,000 reward, Antonios, aren’t you considering going?”
Antonios lightly waved the silver knife in his hand, and the steak on his plate was easily cut into perfectly even pieces.
“Not to mention a task with a 500,000 reward is never easy. Since it’s your territory, naturally, I’ll wait until you’ve tried before it comes to me.”
Gwen laughed out loud, “You’re always so polite.”
Antonios said no more.
Besides, anyone who can casually throw out 500,000 probably has countless Star Stones on them…
Whether it’s a ‘fat sheep’ or a ‘fat tiger,’ let these Ford Street people test the waters first.
Gwen immediately told the burly subordinate behind him, “Alan, you go check the situation, too.”
“Yes, Boss Gwen!”
“Wait.” Just as Alan was about to leave, Antonios suddenly called out, “Are you sure he’s alone?”
Gwen nodded, “Confirmed, he’s alone.”
Antonios picked up a piece of meat, put it in his mouth, chewed a few times, and turned his head, “Alan, here’s a piece of advice: stay a bit farther back until you understand the situation. If that person shows strength, invite him over politely.”
Alan glanced at Antonios, then at his own boss, Gwen.
Gwen pondered for a moment and then nodded, “Go on, Alan. Do as Mr. Antonios says.”
“Yes!”
Alan acknowledged and then left with his men.
Gwen then looked at Antonios, “You have high regard for him?”
Antonios replied, “Taking out a large number of Star Stones at the Mercenary Union and only staying for two days, isn’t this just tempting others to come at you? If he’s not a rich fool, then he’s a master doing it deliberately.”
Gwen said, “But One-eyed Dragon has about ten Shining Stars under him, and he himself has an Epic Soul Card. The other person is alone, so how could he handle it?”
Antonios swirled his glass of red wine and asked, “Do you think I could handle it?”
Gwen’s tone faltered, “You…? You should be fine.”
Gwen knew that although Antonios was young, he was one of the rising stars of Qiguang in the past two years, and a former genius knight of Qiguang Holy Temple!
Just a year ago, due to some changes, he transformed from a promising Holy Temple Knight to a fugitive. He had been wandering around and recently arrived in Rhein.
Because he had once helped him, and they had some personal relations, Gwen brought him over.
…
At this moment, on the West Street of Ford Street, outside a quiet square.
“Here we are at Ford Street, Mr. Anglie, keep up.”
A slim young man led Su Yuan forward quickly, then suddenly picked up speed and dashed ahead.
“Really dropping the act now?” Su Yuan chuckled softly and quickly followed.
Soon, inside the square ahead, there were more than a dozen people with restrained auras waiting, led by a one-eyed dragon wearing an eyepatch.
The slim young man had stopped in front of the one-eyed dragon.
“Good job, Jeff!” One-eyed Dragon nodded in approval.
The slim young man chuckled, “Thank you, Lord One-eyed Dragon!”
One-eyed Dragon said, “Alright, if there’s nothing else, go wait in the back. I’ll reward you later~”
“Got it!”
The slim young man pocketed the Star Stone and didn’t retreat far. Instead, he turned his head to gloat at Su Yuan.
“This guy is really a young fat sheep…”
The slim young man originally wanted to see a look of anger and fear on this fat sheep’s face.
However, unexpectedly, the fat sheep’s face remained extremely calm… or rather, eerily calm!
Those silver eyes, which emitted a cold light, made the slim young man shudder involuntarily.
“What’s with this guy? He seems a bit freaky!”
Even One-eyed Dragon, seeing Su Yuan calm and composed in front of him, secretly raised an eyebrow.
If the other party acted even a bit normal, he would have made his move directly.
But right now, the other party was overly calm. This gave him a slight sense of uncertainty.
“Kid, where are you from?” One-eyed Dragon asked.
Su Yuan answered, “From the south.”
“The south? Ladi, Gluwin’s side…” One-eyed Dragon felt slightly relieved.
Ladi and Gluwin were two medium-sized cities south of Rhein, and the person’s appearance seemed consistent with someone from Ladi.
Since he was from a place like that, what kind of background or strength could he have?
Indeed, the fake identity Su Yuan obtained was from Ladi.
One-eyed Dragon said, “I heard you took out 500,000 Cent Star Stones to issue a task. It seems you have a lot of money on you~”
Su Yuan smiled, “I do have quite a bit. If you can bring me a Star Card Master who can break the seal, I can give you 100,000 as a brokerage fee.”
“100,000? That’s a lot!” A mature, attractive woman behind One-eyed Dragon laughed, “A Star Card Master skilled in sealing. There is one in Ford Street recently… but unfortunately, I want more than just 100,000.”
“Laf, don’t waste time with him.” A burly young man nearly two meters tall beside them, Jack, sneered at Su Yuan, “Hand over everything you have. Otherwise, you’ll disappear on this Ford Street, and the City Guard won’t intervene…”
Su Yuan didn’t respond. Instead, he opened his All-Knowing Vision and observed the surroundings.
Apart from the group in front of him, several places like the rooftop nearby and the street corner by the square had people watching. They were likely from other factions in Ford Street.
It should almost be about time…
Su Yuan looked at Jack and drew out the Demon-controlling God Demon Saber, “You say, killing people here, the City Guard won’t care?”
“Heh, you’re resisting?” Jack smirked, putting on a pair of gloves, “That’s right, this is Ford Street.”
The others were visibly surprised. It seemed Su Yuan intended to fight back?
Only One-eyed Dragon at the forefront felt a sense of unease and immediately shouted, “Be careful…”
Before he finished speaking, everyone saw a blur. Su Yuan vanished from the front.
Before they could react, Jack suddenly felt intense pain within his body. A Vermilion Long Saber had pierced through his chest!
“In that case, I won’t hold back…”
Su Yuan wielded the long saber, and the Space Power on the blade erupted, instantly shredding Jack into countless pieces!
The splattering blood and flesh hit Laf, One-eyed Dragon, and others.
In an instant, under the shallow twilight, everyone fell into shock and chaos…
